Early life and education
Teuteberg was born Linda Merschin on 22 April 1981 in Königs Wusterhausen, East Germany and grew up in Görsdorf bei Storkow, Storkow, Brandenburg as the daughter of a teacher and an engineer. She graduated from the Katholischen Gymnasium Bernhardinum in Fürstenwalde and, on a scholarship from the Studienstiftung, studied jurisprudence and economics at the University of Potsdam.
Political career
Teuteberg joined the Young Liberals in 1998 and became a member of FDP in 2000.
She was elected to the Landtag of Brandenburg on 27 September 2009 on the state list and was supported by Hans-Dietrich Genscher. Teuteberg sat for five years.[4]
During her time in the state parliament, Teuteberg sat on the Committee on Legal Affairs, the Committee on the Election of Judges and the Enquete Commission on the "consequences of the SED dictatorship and the transition to a democratic constitutional state in the Land of Brandenburg", and was also a deputy member of the budget, finance, economy, European affairs and development policy committees. She was also her parliamentary group's spokesperson for legal and media affairs.
When Teuteberg was preparing for a second law degree in the autumn of 2012, the head of the FDP, Gregor Beyer, claimed that Teuteberg was not fulfilling her duties as a member of parliament to a sufficient extent.[5] Teuteberg rejected the accusations.[6]
She did not seek re-election in 2014.[7]
From 2014 until 2017, Teuteberg worked at the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
Member of the German Bundestag, 2017–
In an internal vote in November 2016, Teuteberg defeated Axel Graf Bülow with 57% of votes to become the FDP lead candidate in Brandenburg for the 2017 German federal election.[8] The FDP won 7.1% of the second votes (9.2% in Teuteberg's constituency) in Brandenburg.[9] Teuteberg won 7.5% of the first votes.[10]
Since September 2017, Teuteberg has been a member of the German Bundestag, where she sits on the Committee on Internal Affairs. She is also her parliamentary group's spokesperson on migration policy.
In the negotiations to form a so-called traffic light coalition of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Green Party and the FDP following the 2021 federal elections, Teuteberg was part of her party's delegation in the working group on migration and integration, co-chaired by Boris Pistorius, Luise Amtsberg and Joachim Stamp.[11]
Political positions
On the state level, the focus of Teuteberg's political work was "the processing of the SED dictatorship and the reparation of the injustice caused in the GDR" and the advocacy of a liberal economic policy.[12]
In late 2021, Teuteberg was one of 22 members of the FDP parliamentary group who advocated against the introduction of a forced COVID-19 vaccine mandate.[13]
In February 2024, she wanted a large increase in expenditure on armaments and the military.[14]
